3. You did not say what OS
you are using or if you are using IE as your browser. But you can go to C:\windows and check the history folder and also check the temp folder you may find some things this way.

you can't delete history effectively with your browser open. And that's not all! When you select delete history, what's deleted isn't the actual file information! That is still left on your hard drive for all to see. What you actually deleted was just the file's directory entry!

In effect, all of the sites you've surfed, pictures you've viewed, and chat rooms you entered are still on your computer ? all you do when you select delete history is label them as empty space. Eventually, the hard drive on your computer will recycle this space, but the larger your drive, the longer it takes.
